I like As I lay dying. They're probably my favorite metalcore band, lest you count old avenged sevenfold (waking the fallen is a really good album). I like trvium to actually, though I agree that heafy is a real sh***y vocalist. I think Ascendancy is a great album. Other than that though, trivium is just average.

This list is f***ed up. Through the Eyes and Cannibal Corpse are pretty much death metal. You might include Dying Fetus (t, not a d, dude) in death metal too, but they are closer to grindcore. So those were smart choices to put on a "Metal/metalcore/hardcore" band list. I'm not sure what the hell Thrice is doing on here.

As far as the actual metalcore bands on this list go, you picked some of the better ones of the genre for this list. I'm going to go ahead and assume that you are one of those on the "metalcore sucks" bandwagon. Obviously, you don't know many metalcore bands because there is a plethora that are "worse" than AILD, BT, and IDT (believe it or not).

Quite frankly, I don't think you knew what the hell you were talking about when you put this list together.

Now that I see your top 100, I know you didn't know what you were thinking. I find it hilarious that As I Lay Dying is even on this list, nevermind at the top. Especially when you consider the fact that you ranked The Showdown at #4, Showbread at #6, The Agony Scene at #11, Haste the Day at #23, and Norma Jean at #30. Are you f***ing serious? Clearly you don't know the first thing about shitty metalcore, let alone good bands. And if you can't stand As I Lay Dying, why are they on your list (at 68)? Taking that into consideration, I'd like to think what you think of the bands after that.

As if that wasn't bad enough, I see Modest Mouse, Family Force Five (WTF?), and Say Anything before others, others such as Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Amon Amarth, Evergrey, Slayer, and Children of Bodom? You lose all credibility with that one, buddy. There are some bands I won't even comment on (like Dead Poetic [pretty much an emo band] at #67, higher than of Lamb of God, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden mind you). That's just sad.
